This is a maintenance release, part of the ``old latest'' 2.9 branch. It
is recommended to upgrade all pre-2.10 installations to 2.10 as soon as
possible to enjoy the latest features and improvements of a more mature
and stable version.

When we release a new version of Rudder it has been thoroughly tested,
and we consider the release enterprise-ready for deployment. This
release is marked as `old-stable' since a subsequent release (branch
2.10) has proven itself to be `stable'. `Old-stable' also means that
this release has been assigned an `end-of-life' date, in this case 30th
June 2014. See our FAQ for details, on
https://www.rudder-project.org/site/documentation/faq/#what_is_the_versioning_policy.

This is a bug fix release in the 2.9 series and all installations of
2.9.x should be upgraded when possible. This version is not yet marked
stable'', since it has not yet proven itself to be reliable on
production systems over a period of several months. The current
stable'' release is still 2.6.*.

When we release a new version of Rudder it has been thoroughly tested,
and we consider the release enterprise-ready for deployment. To be
declared ``stable'' we prefer to wait until a version has been available
and running in production for several months. As such, we expect version
2.9 of Rudder to be declared stable very soon.
